IPM of Improved Pastures and Native Rangeland

Pastures containing improved forages and native rangeland comprise 23 million acres of Oklahoma land.  Forage and hay production (alfalfa + grass) was worth more than $600 million in 2007!  These resources are extremely important in feeding the 5,000,000 + cattle and other livestock that are raised in Oklahoma each year, as well as providing important food and habitat for wildlife.

IPM programs for improved forages and native rangeland are designed to keep Oklahoma's forage resources productive today and for generations to come. OSU continues to work to develop and deliver effective IPM programs for forage production systems in Oklahoma.
